Thread: New PF-9

OK. I admit it. I went over to the dark side and bought myself a PF-9 at for $260 plus tax. I was really thinking about a P3-AT or the new Ruger LCP, but decided that I didn't want to buy another set of dies. Took her out this afternoon and ran just over fifty rounds through her without any problems until one of my reloads got stuck part way into the chamber. Not the pistols fault.

After getting home and removing the offending cartridge from the chamber I discovered that the case was just enough out of spec not to chamber in the Kel-Tec. Funny thing is, the cartridge chambered just fine in my other nines - the Kel-Tec's chamber is tight. After taking a random sampling of the over 1500 rounds of reloaded 9mm in my workshop and dropping them into the barrel, I found that this was an isolated case. Based on the serial number this particular pistol was manufactured after 01/2008 so it has all the modifications previous models were lacking.

Overall impressions - Nice light, reliable pistol (so far anyway) that is comfortable to carry in my front pocket. However, I think I'm going to carry IWB with a Galco Stow-n-go holster - assuming it will fit - and will make this my daily carry.
